Dipped into a new design area for an absolutely amazing, and original one-man show. One weekend only, with a live-recorded version releasing online in the summer.

Incredibly lucky to be able to design a show considering everything this year. Grateful for what may be my only full design for probably a year period. Excited for Christmas Carol to open tomorrow, with free in-person and virtual tickets.
